One of the BANDAI SPIRITS “HI-METAL R” series is felt to be familiar to everyone. It is an extension of the long-standing “HI-METAL” series, formed through transformation and mixed materials, and then upgraded with the latest technology . In May this year, it was announced that “Roy Focker’s” VF-0S Phoenix special machine would be launched with the work of “Macross ZERO”. If you know anything about “Macross”, the Zero series is a prequel story. The animation technology and air combat scenes at that time (2002) are vivid. Today we’re going to unpack this ace host who eventually turned into a flying bird. VF-0S.
Specially designed outer box to celebrate the 40th anniversary
“Macross ZERO” was one of the classic animations of the “Macross” series at the time, and also one of the 20th anniversary works. The 40th anniversary was printed on the outer box of HI-METAL R VF-0S. Without knowing it, 20 years later is considered a “double” commemoration. The outer box cover is in the shape of a human figure and a VF-0S airplane, which is very dynamic with the airflow cloud background. Going back, in addition to the introduction, you will also see our star machine model VF-0S from the transparent position. After opening it, you will see that although the body occupies many parts, other positions are full of equipment and accessories. In addition to the very rich first layer, there is also a small second layer. It can be seen that this time the model has more playability. In addition, there is a very “simple” manual, no color printing and preset pictures, just teaching installation and deformation.
BATTROID form
This time, the height of HI-METAL R VF-0S is about 15.5cm, which means that the “HI-METAL” style will continue this time, and the model is suitable for sudden display or collection. Regardless of the size of the body and the combination of all the parts, in the case of “deformable”, the overall proportion is higher than the average level, and is not much different from the shape of the original animation. The appearance of the airframe is also very complete. The most noteworthy part is that the eyes of the head and the cover of the fighter’s headcabin are presented transparently, and the airframe has different color patterns, such as the special one in the original book The death skull pattern, other black lines or patterns are all handled correctly.
Among the accessories, there are other hand fists that can be replaced, one of which is a laser machine gun that can be placed as a personal weapon, and the other is an open palm and a large palm for the G shape. During installation , you just need to forcibly remove the palm to replace another one, but since there is a telescopic effect in the arm (for warplane deformation), it is easy to cause unstable installation and can not be fastened, so do more attention when replacement. The laser machine gun also has a pattern on it, which says “UNSPACY” (United Space Force), which can be considered a reset of the weapon’s characteristics in the animation.
Form GERWALK
Every time I see the deformation of the VF-0S fighter, I want to be one of the pilots, and I am attracted by the beautiful movements and appearance. The HI-METAL R VF-0S can display three shapes perfectly. The process from shape B to shape G is relatively simple, especially if you have played related series, it should be easier to start. After opening the lock position between the shoulder and the machine head, the machine head can be disassembled 180 degrees, open the backpack position and insert the head, then slightly adjust the position of some covers and the head, then move the joints of the lower body to the Connect the front position outward, and finally open the wings and replace the gun barrel in front of the fighter’s nose to complete the deformation.
There is not much to pay attention to in the deformation process, but the body proportion of the previous work has been slightly reduced. Although it has “shrunken”, the overall size is more in line with the body proportion. It should be noted that the engine part of the VF-0S has to be opened and replaced manually, so that the front part can be seen more closely. In the semi-formed state, the fighter’s head cab cover can be opened, and the driver can be put into the cockpit. Because the cab is transparent, the driver’s figure can be seen faintly. With the bracket, different flying shapes can be placed and it can also stand directly on the ground without the bracket.
FIGHTER deformation fighter
In the end, of course, the most original shape of the F is indispensable. Put the extended joints of the arms back and put them inward to close them, open the backpack to cover all the arms, then put the legs back and connect them with the arms, and finally open the tail fins. In HI-METAL R VF-0S, the F shape is smoother than the G shape, and there is no need to replace parts. In the F form, the flying wings can be changed to the missile armed form, and the personal weapon laser machine gun can also be stored and installed on the bottom of the machine, and the propellers can also be installed on the sides. Finally, the landing gear needs to open the three positions of the fuselage, and then install the rack.
Summary: Perfect Three Transformation Experience Legendary Ace Console
To put it simply, all deformation shapes of HI-METAL R VF-0S are well designed, and players who love animation will not be disappointed. Rethinking the history of “Macross ZERO” full of realistic mechanical technology, HI-METAL R VF-0S allows players to experience the charm of “Macross” series. Due to its suitable shape and size, it can be played and displayed, which is more practical than other large proportions. The attached accessories and brackets are placed on the body, which increases a lot of freedom and playability. However, because the material is not very good, the body will turn yellow relatively easily, and the engraving on the body is not deep enough. If you want to highlight the three-dimensional effect, you should modify it yourself. However, these parts cannot hide the benefits brought by HI-METAL R VF-0S Which of the three types of players do you like?
